200mg Shroom Microdose Deadhead Chemist (24)

Paul Stamets recommends a microdosing protocol that involves taking a small amount of psilocybin every day for four days, followed by a three-day break. Each dose contains 200mg of dried Psilocybe and 150mg of Ginger Root Extract. Psilocybin works by stimulating a serotonin receptor in the prefrontal cortex called “5-HT2A,” which leads to the production of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) – a protein that stimulates growth and activity in the brain, and the increased transmission of Glutamate – a neurotransmitter responsible for important brain functions such as cognition, learning, and memory.

Microdosing can dampen the activity of the Default Mode Network (DMN) – an often over-used part of our brain responsible for many mental activities, including day-dreaming, self-reflection, and thinking about the past or future. Psychedelics have the potential to combat depression and anxiety, provide insights, and creative perspectives that may otherwise remain inaccessible.

Microdosing can help reduce the frequency and intensity of undesirable states caused by various forms of mental illness, including depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, mood disorders, PTSD, and addiction. On the other hand, it can increase the frequency and intensity of desirable states/outcomes, including creativity, energy, flow states, productivity/focus, improved relationships/increased empathy, athletic coordination, and leadership development.
